In one embodiment, a server instructs one or more networking devices in a local area network (LAN) to form a virtual network overlay in the LAN that redirects traffic associated with a particular node in the LAN to the server. The server receives the redirected traffic associated with the particular node. The server trains a machine learning-based behavioral model for the particular node based on the redirected traffic. The server controls whether a particular redirected traffic flow associated with the node in the LAN is sent to a destination of the traffic flow using the trained behavioral model.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the virtual network overlay comprises a tunnel from one of the networking devices in the LAN to the server.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the server controls whether the particular redirected traffic flow associated with the node in the LAN is sent to the destination of the traffic flow based further in part on the received node information.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the destination of the traffic flow is located within the LAN.
11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the virtual network overlay comprises a tunnel from one of the networking devices in the LAN to the server.
16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the apparatus controls whether the particular redirected traffic flow associated with the node in the LAN is sent to the destination of the traffic flow based further in part on the received node information.
17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the process is executed within a virtual machine or container.
18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the destination is located within the LAN.
20. The computer-readable media of claim 19, wherein the virtual network overlay comprises a tunnel from one of the networking devices in the LAN to the server.
